Uncle Dan was such a fun uncle to us kids growing up! We will miss your silly antics and pranks and the whoopie cushions. You will be missed!

To my Double Cousins,
I can only imagine the grief you are feeling over the passing of Dan. He was always so special to me. I felt like he was my baby brother, too, since I never had one. Your mom probably got sick of me hanging around, hoping he would wake up when I was there, and I could get him up. Wayne and I are praying for you and your families. My mind keeps singing, " and the circle won't be broken, by and by Lord by and by".
Blessings to you all.
Linda and...
